Scrib

A scrib is a handheld piece of technology that serves as a personal communication device, as well as a portable computer.

The scrib has a floating pixel display, and responds to both manual input and gestures. Each device is connected to the Galactic Commons network, allowing access to any information they are cleared to see. Each person is assigned a path, a unique identifier that serves the equivalent of a phone number. Scribs are often stored in a holder on the being's person when not in use.
